Have you fix the duplicate problems from the [chest] mod ?

I don't know the [chest] mod, so I don't know if there're problems.

it's from 17 Sep 2014, 14:34, so it's fairly new and I didn't know it

My mod doesn't have a duplicate problem as far as I know.
I don't use the PilzAdam double chest code for it.

ok, thank you for your answer :)

Thank you also for your work and sharing your mods :D

thanks,
the folder needs to be called connected_chests (after unpacking the archive if you downloaded it)

Thanks for this nice mod. Each time I start Minetest, I get the messages:

Could not load image "connected_chests_top.png" while building texture
Creating a dummy image for "connected_chests_top.png"

That pair of messages repeats for each connected chest that exists in my world.
The top of each connected chest looks pink on left, green on right (I assume that is the "dummy image" that minetest creates).

Any idea how I might fix this?

[mark_wr]

Never mind. I fixed it. I edited your Init.lua and replaced the 2 occurrences of the character string "connected_chests_top.png" with "default_chest_top.png". The result looks ok to me, even though there is the line in the middle of the top, the front that your designed still lets me know it is a connected chest, and the chest looks nice. Thanks again for this mod.

Sorry, l used a symbolic relative link for the top image, l think l used it to support texture packs. l copied the side texture, it should work now.

Does connected chests work with locked chests?

Hi,
Is this mod still up-to-date ?
On my private Minetest-server 0.4.16-Stable it crashes when I try to connect chests together. With Minetest 0.5-dev, it does not crash but chests don't stay connected...

[Hybrid Dog]

Sorry, it stopped working since chests have a lid.
I updated it and it should work now. I don't have 0.4.16-stable, so I didn't test it for that version.

[Akahyperion]

I did the update and it works perfectly on 0.4.16-stable !
Thanks a lot ;)
Really good mod by the way !
